| 652 | Brad Hawkins-Clark, AICP | As a planner in a small county (18,000) in a rural state, options for my CM credits and training are already somewhat limited. I do not have a large training budget and rely upon a diversity of different CM providers. Let's not limit training opportunities by pricing smaller providers out of the picture. |

| 659 | Christopher J. Morrow, AICP | As the former Director of the APA's San Diego/Imperial County Section I feel that this process is inherently flawed and effort to force people to exclusively attend APA events. The current CE program needs to be tossed and we need to start over with a rational and productive approach. Thanks. |

| 667 | Jonathan Millea (APA Member #176491) | The current CM policy clearly hampers the mission of planning. I will be eligible to take the AICP exam within a year, something I have been looking forward to for a very long time. Considering the socialistic leanings of the organization and awkward policies, such as the one referenced with this petition, I am beginning to question the value of such certification and the integrity of APA's leadership. It would be nice to see prompt action taken with regard to this matter. Thank you. |
| 668 | Christian Luz | I am extremely opposed to having my career education opportunities restricted by "selected" educators. |
| 669 | Joe H. Hall | AIP/AICP since in 1975. I think the current system is way too expensive for the limited benefit we in the public receive from the AICP designation |
| 670 | Lisa Phillips | |
| 671 | Karin Theriault | APA & AICP dues, test fees, conference fees and cm requirements (and associated fees) need to be administered in a way that is fair and attainable for planners. If it is not- then, there really is no benefit to planners- but rather, creates a hardship which is ultimately unethical- unprofessional on the part of APA and mirrors the current governmental adminstration's practice of elitism and over-taxation of the masses. I choose to not support either. |

| 675 | David H. Prescott, AICP | Since I work for an Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) I must have have the approval of the State Department of Transportation to even ATTEND any out-of-state planning conference. The DOT will not allow use of Federal transportation planning ("PL") dollars unless the DOT finds that the conference is clearly transportation-related. That said, I have been trying since February to find out if the Transportation Resa Board (TRB) September transportation planning conference in Portland (Tools of the Trade for Small and Medium Cities) will qualify for CM credit. Since CM credits are now required in order to maintain AICP membership, the least APA/AICP can do is make it as easy as possible for a recognized organization of transportation planning professionals like TRB to offer AICP CM credit to its conference attendees.
Tnank you for your assistance.

| 680 | David Benedetti, AICP | The point of this CM policy was to ensure that the planning profession remains current to the latest research. The policy as implemented will discourage academic activity and may even discourage the AICP membership in the future. I disagree with the decision to try to build up attendance to the National Planning Conference at the expense of independent CM providers. |
| 681 | William Donohue | A blatant attempt to increase the funding of the organization with little in return for the members. |
